A severe bone bruise to the ankle in a gymnastics meet on Feb. 16 had forced all-state Glenbrook South senior Sheena Graham to ditch her floor exercise and vault routines and try her best performing on uneven bars and balance beam. Graham s effort was more than enough on March 6 at the virtual Central Suburban League South meet, which also served as the Titans senior night. Despite the injury, Graham won both her events, and with teammates such as all-around winner Thalia Skoulikaris, led Glenbrook South to a repeat CSL South title. A Titans co-captain, Graham also repeated as conference champion on beam, scoring a 9.55, and won her other event, bars, at 9.40. The all-around winner at both her 2020 regional and sectional meets and tied for sixth in all-around at the 2020 state meet, Graham will compete in college at Wisconsin-LaCrosse.
